I NOTICED in your issue of June 15 a paragraph about the Galapagos tortoises, I do not know if this information is of any interest, but during my residence in Hawaii I knew of two living there. One of them lived in a garden near Hilo, and belonged to the late Captain Thomas Spencer; I last saw it about 1880. The other one lived on the Waimea plains in a perfectly wild state, and I used frequently to come across it when out shooting. It used to wander about within a radius of three or four miles.
